PREFACE. 



In the preparation of these Outlines the author has 
carefully searched every source of information open 
to her, and has endeavored to make them as brief 
and accurate as possible. 

The principal object of outlines is to systematize 
the matter, and to be an aid in studying the subject 
from a variety of books. 

The work is offered to the public in the hope that 
it will be an aid to many students in acquiring a 
comprehensive knowledge of United States History, 
and that it will prove useful to many teachers in 
suggesting systematic methods of presenting the sub- 
ject to others. 

University Place, Des Moines, Iowa, June, 1890. 



TEXT AND REFERENCE BOOKS, 



The student cannot obtain a thorough knowledge 
of United States History from any one text book. 
Every text book has some good points, and the pupils 
should be encouraged to secure as many as possible 
for reference. Of the more extended histories, 
Bancroft's, Bryant's and Hildreth's Histories are com- 
plete and satisfactory. McCabe's Centennial History 
is also an extended history, and is an excellent His- 
tory of the United States. 

Advanced pupils should be encouraged to read 
the more extended histories of the United States, 
Grant's books and other extended histories of the 
Civil War.

land; a storm drove the ship southwest, near the 
eastern coast of the U. S. Returning to Greenland, 
he reported that he saw land. Erickson determined 
to test the truth of this report, and made a voyage in 
1001. Thorstine Erickson and Thorlinn Karlsefne 
made a voyage the same year. 

IV. Places. 

Labrador and the northeast coast of the U. S. 

V. Evidences of their Explorations. 

The traditions of the Northmen; the annals of Ice- 
land, and the old tower at Newport which still re- 
mained in R. I. when settled by Williams in 1630. 

VI. Results. 

Nothing permanent; the country was named Vin- 
land. Columbus is accredited with having visited 
Iceland and learned of these western voyages, and on 
evidence gained resolved to make a western voyage. 

In 1650 a plague depopulated Vinland, and nothing 
permanent resulted from the discovery.

commission until it was granted by the Governor, and 
Bacon again went against the Indians. He succeeded 
in subduing the Indians, but was soon proclaimed
